Statistical Analysis of Measured Polarimetric Clutter Data at Different Range Resolutions

Abstract

This paper deals with the statistical modelling of radar backscattering from sea surface at low-grazing angles in high resolution radar systems. High-Resolution polarimetric data at different range resolutions (60, 30, 15, 9, and 3m) are analyzed to highlight the differences in clutter statistical behavior due to changes of resolution and/or polarization. The clutter data were recorded by the IPIX radar of McMaster University in Grimsby, Ontario Canada.
